Hans’ Sewing and Vacuum – I began The Sewing Machine Project while working at Hans’ Sewing in Madison. Although Hans’ closed in June 2008 after 54 years of service, their support is deeply felt and remembered.

Kiwanis Club of Madison – The Madison Kiwanians helped us get our start. They have collected donations through the Kiwanis Foundation and many of the members have made generous individual donations. Their generous spirit, kindness and continuous support have been incredibly helpful.

Madison South Rotary – Madison South Rotary supports our local programs with a generous annual grant.

Private Family Foundations find us and see that our mission aligns with theirs. Their financial support is a win-win as it helps us with our mission and helps them distribute funds knowing their generosity makes such a difference.
